DMEC's licensed engineers support deployed vessels both in port and at sea. The Ship Rider is the senior HM&E technical advisor for the ship's force. Ship Rider primary responsibilities include: crew training on main propulsion, auxiliary plant and deck equipment operations, performing preventative maintenance and emergent repairs per the ship's force Commanding Officer, assisting the crew with diagnosing engineering, computer and automation deficiencies along with submitting daily reports to the Port Engineer of completed emergent ship repairs and requisitioning spare parts.

DMEC Engineers utilize their extensive engineering expertise in developing Crew Familiarization Training (CFT) classroom curriculum, shipboard overview, and provides expert instructors to conduct training. Classes are small and interactive. Initial classroom training is followed by shipboard instruction, allowing the crew to learn hands-on how to operate and maintain all HM&E equipment.

DMEC engineers are assigned to demonstrate the automation test procedures and safety shutdowns of:

• Main propulsion and auxiliary equipment.

• Fire detection and suppression systems.

• Engineering monitoring systems.

• Light Off Assessment – LOA 

• DMEC provides highly skilled teams to conduct all contractor supported checkoff list demonstrations. No OEM's required.

DMEC provides qualified Test Engineers to conduct operational testing of HM&E systems in preparation for builders and acceptance trials. DMEC Watch Engineers and RCOs monitor the ship's machinery remote control systems, operate auxiliary machinery, and respond to any alarms
